Wow! This is one of the most memorable meals I have had within NC in a long time. Several people had recommended Brodeto and we knew this was a style of food we would really enjoy. They have a great selection of fresh fish crudo and a whole Bronzino entree. We received incredible service and every dish was times perfectly. Brodeto is located in the Iron Works plaza and is a great to walk around for shopping! read more

The food was all so very good, no complaints there. A few things I didn't like. First and foremost, a 3% credit card charge?!? Seriously? Y'all's prices are already adequately high AND you want to charge me for using a credit card?! I feel like this is just petty. I feel disrespected. We as customers already subsidize the cost of your wait and bar staff by personally paying their salaries, you could at least pick up the CC fees. Which sort of brings me to my next point. If your going to charge me $30 for literally 6-7 tiny little ravioli, at least indicate in SOME way that I'm getting a little appetizer portion and not an actual pasta dish that would serve as a meal. Granted, they were friggin delicious, but come on... I really liked almost all the food here and I want to give it a better rating but there are issues here that will not allow it. Bring down the cost and/or improve portion size and stop charging ME for the cost to run YOUR business and maybe we'd be having a different convo... read more

Our city doesn't have many choices when it comes to Italian food, nor do we have Michelin recognized restaurants, so my husband and I were excited to visit Brodeto. We made a reservation the week before our visit, but even then, we had to reserve bar seats because this is such a hot spot. Spoiler- it was worth it. I had a specialty cocktail that the bartender made for me. I love telling bartenders what ingredients I like and just letting their imaginations go wild. My husband had a whiskey sour which he said was delicious. Both of us stuck with only one drink, but the drinks are delicious and strong, so we only needed one. The limoncello spritz was the most popular drink we saw that night, but we didn't try it. I also appreciated that they have several spirit-free options. For food, we tried a little bit of everything. Both of the crudos we tried (salmon and tuna) were delicious, although the portions were small. The Little Gem Salad is Caesar and surprised us. My husband and I ordered it just to give our bodies a vegetable at dinner, but it was delicious with just the right amount of dressing and crunch. The whipped feta was rich and I loved the figs on top. Our pasta dishes, the Sopresine and Linguine al Nero, were wonderful. The linguine was my favorite of the two. I highly suggest ordered multiple pasta dishes and sharing them so you can try several- on that particular night, the menu had seven pastas. For dessert, my favorite was the vanilla gelato. You should definitely save room for it. I'm still thinking of the gelato and wish they sold pints! Both of us agreed Brodeto was one of the best meals we've had in the US. Even at the bar, service was excellent, and it was fun talking to the bartenders. We would certainly return when in Raleigh, and the menu changes seasonally, so it's a great place for return visits. read more

My son and I visited this restaurant on his birthday as part of his birthday celebration. My son had been there previously and wanted to go back for his birthday because he enjoyed it that much, so he made reservations for us to go. Upon arrival, we were escorted to our seat. We had a wonderful server, Felicity. She took great care of us and answered all of our questions. We ordered several things on the menu. Everything ordered was flavorful, had great texture, and was displayed well on the plate. The moistness and tenderness of each dish were definitely highlights. I wasn't sure about the snapper crudo but decided to try it anyway. It was scrumptious! The Wood Roasted Oysters were good, and the Bordeto seafood meal was awesome; however, I felt it could've been a larger portion for that price. Our gelato desserts were very tasty and refreshing. My son loved the uniqueness of the Vanilla Bean Gelato with olive oil and sea salt. I thoroughly enjoyed my Strawberry Sorbetto. I can see why this restaurant received Michelin acknowledgment in 2025. Between the food, service, and ambience, it was an absolutely fabulous experience. Needless to say, my son enjoyed his birthday celebration. read more

I was so excited to go to Brodeto. I had been hearing such good things so we went as a belated birthday dinner with my family. Four of us, three women and one man. The space is absolutely gorgeous, like wow. It is located in Ironworks so parking can be a little iffy so keep that in mind when you come. We were there on a Sunday evening at 6pm and it was busy, so I would recommend a reservation. We started off with drinks. I got their rose spritz, which they said was newer to the menu. It was both gorgeous and delicious. The idea of this place is tapas/small plates. I knew that going in. So we ordered a few small plates to enjoy: whipped ricotta, beef carpaccio, and little gem hearts. Our food came out pretty quickly but I will admit I was pretty underwhelmed by the portions. Each small plate is $22, which I am fine with paying when there is actually enough food. The bread that came with the whipped ricotta was delicious, that was probably my favorite. But there wasn't a lot of bread. And each new order of bread was $5. We had two order two more small rolls to be able to use up all of the whipped ricotta. For our entrees (again shared) we had the half roasted chicken, ravioli, and a side of potatoes. Again, I was underwhelmed by the portion of the ravioli. It was like 5 pieces of ravioli. Personal preference also, I just do not like when pasta is cooked al dente. The chicken was a large portion and was pretty decent. The crispy potato side was good. Then for dessert we had the olive oil cake, which was very good. But again, small in portion size compared to the quality and cost. I will admit, I was just overall pretty underwhelmed. The food was fine but between the portions and the cost, it missed the mark for me. read more

This restaurant received a lot of hype and I was not as in awe as I anticipated. It was a lovely dining experience with a beautiful ambiance, knowledgeable and attentive server, and unique menu but for the price, I was not obsessed with the food. The branzino was delicious, the whipped ricotta was mid, and the ricotta's texture was a little chunky/ hard. We went with four couples and it was about $200-375 per couple - which was a little steep for an averagely good dinner! read more

I have been to Brodeto twice now and both the times the food has been phenomenal. This time we got the following: Char Crudo - This was my first time trying char and I really liked it. The crudo was flavorful Croatian Pogača, fresh herbs, wood grilled - I was not a big fan of this bread. It was grilled a bit too much that it got tough and tasted charred. Scallops - I loved the presentation of this dish. The scallops were cooked tender and had a lot of flavor. Linguine al Nero - This was hands down my favorite dish. The pasta is cooked in a sea urchin butter and it gives it such a rich flavor. I would definitely go back and order this again. It was so good. Ribeye: The steak came perfectly grilled to a medium rare precut on a bed of porcini and grilled mushrooms. I'm not a big mushroom fan but they actually complimented the steak. Overall Brodeto is a hit and I'd go back again. P.S: Just like other Crawford restaurants they also charge you a 3% credit card transaction fees. read more

The ambience was beautiful and contemporary, Staff were friendly. The food was tasteful, but overpriced. The scallops were the smallest that I've ever seen and eaten. They were bite size. Also, the arugula salad was bland. I enjoyed the Cocomero drink. The Croatian experience was interesting, but not as exciting as I expected. I will return again to try a different dish. Tips: you must order all food items at the same time. Also, the wooden door inverts when opened as if it is going to revolve. As I stood near the door awaiting seating, the door hit me in my back as a customer entered the restaurant. Ouch! read more

Brodeto is probably one of the top five restaurants in the Triangle. The food, ambience and service were top notch! It's fairly new and opened in 2024. This was our second time here and I'll say it's one of our favorite eateries in Raleigh. My wife and I shared dishes and everything was delicious. We will definitely be back again soon. read more

This place is an ambiences and vibe GOLDMIND. To start it's kinda tucked away in the plaza, with dark windows and a huge door but it creates this incredible immersion of being almost "hidden". The aesthetic of the interior, is clean, modern, yet full of artistic flavor and vibrancy. The walls and lighting give it an almost underground kind of feeling but it works so incredibly well. This place feels like a restaurant Bruce Wayne would visit, in its supreme class and vibe. The service was also spectacular and our waiter was super friendly, helpful, and kind throughout our visit. While the food is expensive, it is definitely worth every single dollar, everything from the focaccia, to dessert to the linguine al Nero was a culinary delight to try. It's packed with complementing flavors of uniqueness intricacy and class. I surprised my girlfriend here for our 2 year anniversary, and she could not stop gushing at how phenomenal the aesthetic, service, and food all were, this is genuinely a jewel of Raleigh and if you have the chance to go you MUST GO. read more

My friend and I had the perfect girls night here! I love Italian and this was on her list of suggestions. Even better it's walkable from the climbing gym so I was able to have a full evening of climbing and catching up with my friend. We made a reservation for 7:30pm and were seated at a two top in the main area. The ambiance here is clean, classy and upscale. We started with an espresso martini and a mezcal drink. The mezcal had that classic smoky kick and the espresso martini was actually a bit more bitter (ha) than expected but still very good. I had the busiate with shrimp and my friend got the pork chop. I also had a glass of pink rose that was delicious and paired well with my pasta. I tried a bit of the polenta - which I'm pretty indifferent towards, but this was scrumptious. For dessert, we shared the chocolate cake and it was amazing. Serving sizes are on the smaller side but makes you savor every single bite! All in all, I had an excellent night here. Service was spectacular- I would expect no less for a $$$$ venue! I would definitely come back. @azfitfoodfun read more

I do love it when the reviews align with my own experience. For Brodeto, the bulk of the reviews are spot on. We ordered the Focaccia ($10), Croatian Pogaca ($8), Brodeto ($40), Cavatelli ($22), Pork Chop ($38) with white polenta ($12), Olive Oil Cake ($13), Italian Chocolate Tart ($13), and Vanilla Bean Gelato ($10). Everything we ordered was delightful apart from the Pogaca. We could not taste any of the basil or salt on the pogaca, only the overpowering burnt flavor. I understand if it is supposed to be baked on an open fire and have a smoky flavor, but it was too much. Food: exceptional flavors with widely varying portion sizes and prices. Our waiter wanted us to order everything at once, which is fine but challenging to do when the portions and prices are seemingly random. It would help if the menu identified items that are intended to be shared and items that feed one person. The Brodeto is smaller than expected so best for one person or two (if you purchase bread separately). Highly recommend the desserts, they are divine. Atmosphere: open, welcoming interior with natural light and live plants. Our evening started off chilly and quiet. By the end of our meal the dining room was nearly full with a noticeable rise in ambient temperature and noise. Customer service: The service is excellent. The waiters and bussers are attentive and patient. Our table was consistently cleaned and our waters topped off. Parking: free parking available in the stone lot adjacent to the restaurant or across the way in the parking garage. Other: as another reviewer commented, the octopus wallpaper in the bathroom is adorable! read more

Sleek, modern atmosphere. Service was amazing- took time to explain things we had questions on without us feeling dumb for asking. Clarified everything we ordered and checked to ensure we were happy appropriately. Food was very good. Gnocchi pictured were a favorite- great meat flavor and gnocchi were handmade and perfect texture. Whipped ricotta was also a highlight, served with bread- so smooth, flavorful balance with preserved strawberries. Beef carpaccio with mussels were interesting- not completely sold on the pairing but happy to try it. I would return to try more food. Menu was not big but had options to fit most palettes. read more

Decore is very modern and upscale, but a bit "cold". The service was excellent and meticulous both times I was here, and the food is outstanding. We had beef carpaccio and the coal roasted scallops for appetizers. The Risotto with the black ink was unique and absolutely incredible. The whole branzino was also fantastic. Will definitely be back read more

This is one of those fine dining places with an amazing food, where you don't regret spending so much money really!! Their wine collection is great with a variety of options. Food menu is limited and easy to choose from. We ordered tomato salad, scallops, tuna crudo and their famous focaccia bread and butter. Not a fan of raw fish, but my friends liked it, bread and butter, awesome! Will order again. Scallops were juicy and soft with lots of flavors. In the main course we ordered shrimp pasta, cod fish, pork chops and baked potatoes. Pasta was decent but loved their pork chops and cod fish filet, well cooked, really soft that melted in mouth. For dessert for ordered olive oil cake, espresso and a latte. Their latte is a must try. Service was prompt and smooth. They kept checking in and explained everything we asked for. The ambience and decor is subtle but elegant. Something that's a little weird is that they charge a 3% on credit card payment which doesn't make sense since it's an expensive place. They should do something about it. Overall, a great place for dinner dates, and family get aways. read more

What can I say l? But wow. 12/10. Food is insane, wine, immaculate. Our server, Morgan was OUTSTANDING. He literally delivered our leftovers to us (we had a glass of wine across the way afterwards) and was so doting. Please do yourself a favor, and go and enjoy brodeto. read more

Not a fan of me having to pay the 3% credit card fee - especially since it was not mentioned by the server when she handed us the bill - never been to a restaurant and been responsible for the 3% credit card fee - disappointing esp. at a pricey restaurant. Had an excellent dinner at Brodeto - the foccacia, caeser salad, tile fish and chocolate layer cake (the choc foam was not necessary) were all very delicious. Our server was excellent too. Not too noisy either. read more

B Tier. Great food for a not so great price. Brodeto shines are being a great date night restaurant. Great service, great ambiance, great location. The focaccia was excellent. My butter knife sliced through the crust easily. I won't lie, everything we put in our mouths was great. However, (and my wife called it, I have to give her credit), we were still hungry after we ate bread, appetizer, and entrees. We were fearful as we saw plates get sent to other tables that were smaller than the price tag would suggest. If I'm spending a premium for a meal, I'd like to at least leave satisfied. I would not return unless portion sizes increase. read more

Overpriced and underwhelmed. Don't like how you have to order everything all at once.

Fantastic Italian/Croatian cuisine located in Raleigh Iron Works! The pasta dishes were so fresh and flavorful. We easily got a seat at the bar and enjoyed a starter, 2 pasta dishes and dessert. We also had a couple cocktails/wine. Will definitely be back! read more

We started with the Razor clams, this is a rare seafood to find on a menu and the reason we ordered them, it comes with 2 clams about 4-5 inches long and 1 1 inch wide, the clams come chopped and mixed with garlic, lemon and salsa rossa. delicious...Also, try the amberjack, this is my favorite raw fish...super good. Next the Little Gem hearts salad was one of the best prepared Cesar salads I have had, however, it is very large and can easely be spit with 4 people. Then, Coursed out perfectly, came the Linguine al Nero, (sea urchin butter, chile pangrattato), this was my favorite dish of the night. Our main dish was the whole roasted pork chop and while it was very tasty, I was too full to really enjoy it, had on 2 slices. I cant wait to go back and enjoy some other innovative items on this menu. Good job Brodeto. read more

First time visiting and was extremely impressed with 5 star service! Love the open kitchen and big city restaurant vibe. We started with cocktails (both were good, but not $18 good), and the Whipped Ricotta which comes with the most amazing bread. For dinner we shared the Cavatelli (5 stars) and Embered Beef Rib (4 stars - way too much fat for a $79 meat only dish). We ended the night with both desserts - Olive Oil Cake and Chocolate Tart. Both were good, but the Chocolate Tart was the winner. read more

Meal was very good with some slight improvements this place could be a home run. Overall the food was very good but some things just need a slight alteration to add a bit more punch or another layer of flavor to really take each dish to the next level. Service was perfect and nice made our evening so good and enjoyable. The interior was very nice and inviting. We shared every dish we had to start Amberjack crudo, faccia, pagacia, and mussels. Crudo was the favorite of the meal for us. The crudo the fish was so tender. It was perfectly balanced with capers and sauce. Mussels were very good the sauce added a nice amount of spice but the bread crumbs were too heavy and you couldn't taste much of the mussels. The breads our favorite faccia it was well balanced buttery and crusty with some nice olive oil. The pacia was a little too dry and it was burnt it had a bad bitter aftertaste. I think we didn't get the full experience but it was our least favorite. For mains we got the black risotto, Busiate al Limon, gnocchi, and grilled prawns. Overall our favorite gnocchi was well balanced between savoryness of the fish and freshness of the beans. Black risotto was very good but it needs some chili flakes and some acidity to give it more depth of flavor. Brusiat was very good had nice flavor to it with perfectly cooked ingredients but need some chili flakes or another ingredient to add some more depth with savory or some lemon. Desert we got some olive oil cake and vanilla bean gillato. Both were good but the cake was a little dry and the vanilla had a little too much of olive oil on it over powering the vanilla bean flavor to me. Overall I would recommend this place and look forward to coming back. read more

TLDR: Good stuff, but as others have pointed out, they need to use less salt. Made a reservation a few days ahead for 6 people and had an awesome meal here! Definitely one of the best new restaurants in Raleigh. We tried: + Tuna crudo + amberjack crudo + Housemade ricotta + foccacia + little gem hearts + octopus carpaccio + Black risotto + Ravioli + agnolotti + whole roasted branzino + Vanilla bean and raspberry sorbetto twist + Olive oil cake + Italian dark chocolate custard My absolute favorite bites were the risotto and the raspberry sorbetto. Next favorites were the ricotta, ravioli and the other two desserts. Apparently the (incredible) bread that comes with the ricotta is available a la carte, so will be ordering that next time. Amberjack crudo is also worth getting - I liked how the dill and capers give it a bagel vibe - but you can skip the tuna. Everything else was really solid. They could pull back on the salt a bit (with the salad and pastas especially) but overall I thought it was excellent. Desserts brought it to a 5! read more

Fantastic from start to finish! Amber, our server, gave wonderful recommendations and paced the meal perfectly! We had the gem salad (perfect dressing), beef carpaccio (fresh and loved the aioli), bread (warm and fluffy), and we shared the beef cheek (wonderfully rich and perfect size)! Finished with the bignette for dessert (light and sweet)! Ambience was warm, airy, with an open kitchen! Highly recommend! read more

This is a marvelous date night spot! My friend surprised me with a girls night at Brodeto for my last night in town - and it was such a delightful surprise. We ate what felt like everything, and everything was outstanding. We started with the whipped ricotta and beat salad - both of which were light, yet flavorful. The server recommended the ricotta with a different local bread and it was divine- fluffy and soaked in olive oil. Afterwards, I had the gnocchi which is typically not my favorite dish. This was noticeably lighter and the beef was so tender it broke apart so easily. Definitely better than any other gnocchi I have had. I should have stopped there - but our waiter was persistent on how divine the dessert was (especially calling out the custard). Oh man. That vanilla custard was like an angel's pillow. It was beautifully smooth and rich - a reason to visit Raleigh all on its own. Then we paired it with a dense lemon olive oil cake. Wow. Simply amazing. I don't know if they advertise themselves as a dessert restaurant - but it was easily the best thing i consumed during my weekend trip. read more

Delightful restaurant, outstanding food and service, we celebrated our anniversary and this was the perfect place for a special occasion. Menu is set up for sharing, very relaxed atmosphere and we were able to take our time enjoying some small plates and we shared an exquisite lamb chop entree, and even with sharing the portions were generous and absolutely adequate. Our server Taylor did a perfect job and the assistant general manager, Ryan stopped by our table to wish us a happy anniversary and took the time to chat with us. Restaurant is a little pricey, for us it's a special occasion place but since it's set up for sharing, the cost is on par with other fine dining restaurants even though at first it might seem more expensive. Excellent experience, highly recommend. read more

One of my favorite meals from 2024 was back in the summer when I was in my home state of North Carolina. My folks treated me to a dinner at Brodeto, chef Scott Crawford's love letter to the cuisine of southern Italy and Croatia. Beautifully crafted dishes. Including risotto, focaccia, and their signature soup dishes Brodeto and Pika ! I loved the vibe here and the service was great. Very hip area to be in with the Iron works location . The only specific constructive feedback I can give, was that a couple dishes were a bit saltier than I would have liked ( I suspect this might also be tied to the style of the cuisine) #croatian #italian read more

We came here for our anniversary last week. We were running late due to traffic and parking, but when we called, immediately were told to drive safe and they looked forward to seeing us. We were told happy anniversary by the hostess and had conversation with the waitress during the entire time, including being told happy anniversary by her as she greeted us, as well. She was very helpful with the menu and alcohol choices. I agree with her recommendation to close your eyes and order whichever pasta you land on--our two were great but all looked amazing. The oyster crudo was great and was refreshing--especially on a 90 degree day. The foccacio with the butter and anchovies were perhaps my favorite--the sea salt with the fat from the butter and the flavor from the anchovies were out of this world. Also really enjoyed the seasonal Negroni--more of a botanical spin on a favorite. 10/10 recommend and coming back! Thank you for making our night so special! read more

Quality service, quality ingredients, beautiful presentation, but everything was so salty! Amberjack Crudo had big pieces and a tasty sauce, but capers made it overly salty Little gem salad was 1 of the highlights. Loved the pecorino cheese & if this was the only dish with this much salt, would've been fine. Black risotto has a generous portion of octopus & fresh basil. Brodeto seafood stew - gorgeous, huge pieces of prawn, fish, mussels, & clams, but such a salty broth. You def need bread to balance it out Peka lamb stew - the least salty of the dishes, but took me a while to appreciate the flavor because my taste buds had been overstated Whole roasted branzino - amazingly deboned (seriously, no bones at all!) and butterflied, but did not need that much salt, nor did the tomato salad need salt Grilled summer squash - expected more than 4 slices, but very tasty garlic almond topping Dark Chocolate custard dessert. Rich dark chocolate with nice bites of toffee & hazelnuts. The service made it such a lovely experience, I only wish I didn't have to chug so much water to balance out all the salt I just consumed. read more

Wow! What an amazing addition to Iron Works. The interior of the restaurant is beautiful and you can tell they thought of everything. Our server was super friendly and made some great wine recommendations. Starting out with the straciatello and it did not disappoint. Loved the salted strawberries and the bread cooked in pork fat that accompanied it. The other highlight for me was the spaghetti Al Nero. The pasta and sauce was just so delicious and flavorful. The whole branzino and the salt cod potatoes were also spot on. I'd order everything again! For dessert we had the olive oil cake and the vanilla and hazelnut gelato twist. The cake was moist and delicious. The star for me was the gelato though, I would eat that everyday. Looking forward to heading back in soon! read more

First visit to the latest Scott Crawford (Jolie, Crawford & Sons, Crawford Cookshop) restaurant, at the Raleigh Iron Works. It's billed as "Adriatic Italian Croation fare, which is an apt description. It's a beautiful, carefully curated rectangular room, with bar to the right, tables in the center, open kitchen at the back. There's a room with wide doors on the left for private parties. The marble bar is under-lit, as is the bar back displaying bottles. Plenty of light wood in the room. Tables are wood top, chairs of Scandinavian design. A low wall demarks the center, with banquette seating on both side; tables and chairs facing the banquette. It's a very sleek look, with attention to detail. Service is outstanding, as in all Crawford restaurants. Fresh silverware for every course. Dusting away crumbs with each course. Precisely the right amount of attention to ensure no unmet need without being an interruption. Our server, Jacob was terrific. Personable, charming and knowledgeable, he explained the menu, made some recommendations and timed the courses perfectly. THANK YOU! Special shout out to Amber, who came by to check on us. For an appetizer, chose tuna crudo and stracciatella. The tuna was spectacular - the highest grade, uber fresh tuna, sliced thin and topped with dollops of chopped capers and colatura (a salty fish sauce) and drizzled with smoked olive oil. The tuna is firm and slightly sweet, the capers/colatura combo adds saltiness and the olive oil a hint of smoke and earthiness. A great combo. Stracciatella is mozzarella that is stretched until if forms thin strands. The taste is very similar to burrata, the consistency more like mozzarella. It's served with thin slices of green and red strawberries. By itself, the cheese is outstanding. But - tear of a hunk of the freshly-baked and still warm lepinja and put some of that cheese on top - wow! Lepinja (I learned) is traditional balkan flatbread. A nice crunchy crust, fluffy moist and yeasty in the middle, painted with oil before serving. From there, tried peka. Peka is a Croation delicacy; a stew of meat and vegetables. The take here is chunks of lamb and pork belly, plus carrots, potatoes and fennel, all slow-simmered to tender perfection in a rich broth which includes wine of some sort. The aroma wafting from the clay pot (which our server uncovered at the table) made my mouth water. The peka could have been hotter at serving, it was tepid. But delicious nonetheless. Pro Tip - save some bread for dipping - that broth is sublime. Also tried grilled cobia. A nice sized cobia steak is grilled perfectly medium and served over leeks and small potatoes, topped with a mound of red and green lettuce tossed in a lemony dressing. The cobia is firm and white, not oily or fishy tasting. Another great combination. Lastly dessert - tried Italian Dark Chocolate Custard. A tall rectangle of chilled custard is topped with a thin layer of molten dark chocolate. It's then topped with caramel sauce and chunks of amaretti and hazelnut brittle. It's surprisingly light even though it's rich. I love the contrast between the smooth custard and the crunchy toppings. A great end to a great meal. The tab was $180 for 2, including 2 glasses of wine. Brodeto is HIGHLY recommended... I can't wait to got back and try some of the other choices on the menu! GO!!! read more
